When Saif spoke about how he got over the dark

Saif Ali Khan said that he actually had an experience with LSD once when he was 22. He said, “I realised that I’m not scared of the dark anymore. I used to be. It could have gone either way apparently. It is dangerous maybe I could have developed a phobia of the dark, you know. That could have happened as well. But this is what happened. And I realised with all clarity that there is nothing in the dark except darkness. And I’ve never been scared since. Except now I think it’s worn off''.

The actor further added, “It’s an art form to frighten someone anyway but like a subtle shiver you get and its gotta be short obviously, and it’s gotta be scary, and it’s gotta be well written and descriptive. The great writers sometimes weigh-in and kind of write a ghost story, and it’s like singing summertime, you know where all the singers have done it because it’s a song with a range where you can show off your skills''. Saif also noted, “Similarly, Charles Dickens, Emily Edwards and various people, everyone’s written a ghost story, and that’s the time you can see their class. The Oxford book of ghost stories has a great collection that starts from the first ghost story written to one of the most recent ones; they’re just really good and lovely to read at night before going to sleep.”
